It is the clash between expectation and result, theory and reality; a twilight zone of 24-hour-a-day living where life is no longer neatly divided into day and night. It is the stress of trying to acclimate quickly to the immediacy of mothering; of formulating a new conception of oneself, one&#8217;s role in the family and in the world; of shouldering a fearful new level of responsibility and a new delegation of domestic duties. In this much-needed and delightfully funny collection, Buchanan shares the insight she gains as she moves through the stages of mother shock. From &#8220;Fear of the Double Stroller&#8221; and &#8220;Confessions of a Bottle Feeder&#8221; to &#8220;I&#8217;m an Idiot&#8221; and &#8220;Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Playgroup,&#8221; Buchanan details the unimaginably difficult and unbelievably rewarding process of becoming a mother. Spanning the first three years of her daughter&#8217;s life, these amusing ruminations on mothering will strike a chord with every new mother.</div> 82716 4 2003 Mother Shock: Loving Every (Other) Minute of It total:113|5:34|4:43|3:29|2:4|1:3| 113 440 179 28 85719 1580050824 9781580050821 113 28 3.89 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171061562m/85719.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85719.Mother_Shock_Loving_Every_Other_Minute_of_It 5 0 false Mon Aug 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jan 06 12:08:38 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 12:11:56 -0800 2009
